A night out with the Mishanda girls led to VIP treatment at Marquee tapas & cocktails and “Strut Saturdays” at Trak. Ending the night with a customised Aesop hand-facial was heaven! – love smooth skin.

When was the last time you took time out of your busy life to reflect on life, love, your faith, your relationships and just breathe. In a world where we are all striving to achieve so-called success, earn more money and buy more things, it’s good to be reminded to take care of our relationships with others and embrace good old fashioned values such as honesty, loyalty, respect, trust & forgiveness. Love conquers all.

Here is an excerpt from the weekly Resurrection Parishbulletin that has become an essential read every Sunday morning in order to keep me grounded and balanced.

There is a way of losing by gaining.
You can win an argument but lose a friend.
Through competition and promotion
I may advance in my profession,
but in terms of relationships I am impoverished.
My energies are so focused on efficiency and success
that I haven’t time to grow emotionally
and to develop my capacity for relationships.
In one’s drive to attain power,
a person may sacrifice friendship and loyalty,
so much so that one ends up alone.
Lord, let me never forget your haunting words;
‘What good will it do to gain the whole world
if you lose your soul?’

One day on my way to Hawthorn for a catch up with the girlfriends I stumbled across an open inspection and auction next door to my friend’s apartment. I’ve always liked having a sneak peak into houses to see how they’ve been dressed and decorated so I told the girls to meet me at the beautiful double fronted Victorian next door. The interior and exterior was exquisite. I loved everything about it including the espaliered lemon tree and the grapevine-covered pergola. The huge kitchen windows looked out onto the beautifully landscaped backyard and inside, I absolutely loved the black & white colour scheme with touches of seductive reds. Almost put up my hand to place a bid…lucky I didn’t – it went for millions!
